Gothic Setting

October 22, 2015 / / 0 Comments

I heard of this place before but i never thought it would be this terrifying, as I’m walking towards the front of the house i take in all the views, cracked windows with in little black windows inside them, all black paint work. cracked road works around the front at work, the water fountain is over grown with weed and mould. I think twice about going in the house but I know I need to do this to do my job and to prove to myself I’m not just a scared person. I open up the huge, old front doors, the over whelming smell of a mix of dust, blood, and fire but the weird thing is I could not bear or feel the heat and warmth from the fire. As I look around I see two beautiful stair cases (or they used to be) and a huge chandelier hanging from the roof all the way to almost all the way to the floor. I start to walk down the corridor on the walls are old paintings of a mix of people animals or houses, I look up and on the second floor are prison like cells with nothing but beds with broken handcuffs where you put your arms and legs, and on the bed is an outline of a human body. As I am just going to explore a bit more I hear a door or fence slam shut outside somewhere at the same time I feel a chilling rush from my head down to my toes. I decide to explore the house a bit more, I go up the stairs which I find is totally pointless as the second floor has no floor. I go back down and find a note on the door which (before you start calling me mad) I know for a fact it was not there before. I go to read it but my hand out and slowly grasp it but as I do and a scream comes from up stairs and it is the loudest thing I have ever heard, I fall of the ground from the surprise and the shock of the scream. I go and grasp it again its really hard to read but the note says “turn back”don’t know how to take this I take the note off the door and find a really creepy picture of a family of 4, mum,dad,and two sons,I quickly forget about that and move on by walking down the big main corridor as I do I notice how all the paintings have all the same eye colour and design and as I walk past them it feels like the eyes are following me, I see a library at the end of the corridor I go in and find the smell of blood overwhelming I pull my shirt over my mouth and nose and walk in slamming the door behind me, scaring myself unintentionally. As I am about half way down the corridor I find that almost all books are categorised as horror,the owner must hate his sleep, I’m at the back of the library where I find a small round window like the ones they have on ships I look out of it and find what looks like it used to be a beautiful garden when it was all alive that is. I am just about to turn around when I get that feeling of you brain telling you not to do it. I do it and I have never been so terrified a old man looks about 70 or 80 falls from the celling with a rope around his neck and it has (looks like it) it has been there for a long time because his face is all red and purple and looks like it is about to explode, I fall to the floor crying out with metal pain and sadness, start scratching the floor with my blunt nails. I don’t know what to do so I put my hands in my head and cry, about 5 minutes later I pull myself together and get up, I look around and notice the man is gone. But I don’t care any more I start running down the corridor not daring to look back, but stupid me I do and see the light going off one by one as i run the lights start going off faster and faster in till the darkness as consumed me. still I look straight and decide not to do anything for the moment when suddenly I see a little light just in front of me saying “you should have listened to us”
